About Latin American Business Link (1997 to 2009): During the time I operated Latin American Business Link I focused on establishing business relationships with small companies based in Latin American countries. Some of the activities I was involved with included the exports of computer systems to Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. I also traveled to Latin American countries to deliver small business seminars focused on establishing trade relationships. In addition I collaborated with San Francisco Bay Area organizations as an international trade consultant and business adviser. Some of those organizations included the Bay Area World Trade Center, the San Francisco Small Business Administration, and the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Alameda County.
